[Mingw-cross-env-list] [PATCH] Fix readline runtime behavior

[Martin Lambers]

Hi everyone,

an application using readline currently experiences runtime
problems. For example, backspace does not work. This is because
pdcurses, which readline currently uses to get information about a
terminal, does not really implement tgetent() and friends; they are only
stubs. Google "pdcurses readline backspace" for more information.

First I tried using ncurses instead, but then the application crashes.
I did not try to debug.

I simply added libtermcap and made readline use that. Yes, it is
ancient, but it works fine...

Patch attached.

Regards,
Martin
